About the Author

Mandy Jackson-Beverly was born in the bustling town of Pyramid
Hill, Victoria, Australia ... Population: 419. This remote
childhood kick-started Mandy's imagination, as did the rugged
coastline and rolling hills of Tasmania, where her family relocated
when she was four years old. In 1982, Mandy moved to London, where
she discovered the importance of the creative collective: The 1980s
fashion scene. In Los Angeles, she found her own creative freedom
among the thriving, no-holds-barred visionaries of the music video
world. As a costume designer and stylist Mandy worked for
photographer Herb Ritts, and directors Joel and Ethan Coen, David
Fincher, and Julien Temple, and music icons David Bowie, Madonna,
and Tina Turner, to name a few. Mandy has taught Advanced Placement
Art, written and directed high school theatre productions, and
writes blogs for The Huffington Post and Tasmanian Times. She
resides in Ojai, California, with her husband, Brian Beverly, a
crossed-eyed cat, Luna, a dog named Cash and, sometimes, her sons,
Angus and Jack.

Reviews

"Couldn't put this book down. Found myself, for the first time
ever, reading with a flashlight in bed...read it in a day and a
half. Easy to vicariously live through these personalized
characters and indeed realize that there is a bit of a vampire in
all of us...maybe not blood sucking, never the less emotional and
energy suckers. Always great to find a book where you find yourself
rooting for love to find it's way back to and know that it's really
a bit of your own story....wanting to find your way back...to your
own courage & heart. Mandy Beverly has a gifted imagination. She
intrinsically weaves together colors of emotion & passion to tell
her tale and surprised me more than a few times. Of all the
characters grandpa Kishu was my favorite..he makes me miss my
grandpa. Truth be told, would love to see what happens furthermore
with Coco and all the characters of 'A Secret Muse'. Lovely
Brilliant Storytelling that makes you feel that you are right there
in Westwood & in Italy, along for the ride. Would be a great film."
